If a high-contrast mode is enabled then Gpg4win 4.4 (and VSD 3.4) will use the Fusion style which works much better with high contrast than the Windows XP/Vista style with animations that was used previously.

This happens only in the 64-bit builds, i.e. with Gpg4win 5.

I had a look at Qt 5. All of Qt's Windows styles are broken with regards to button or menu item styling. They change the background color of the hovered and/or selected button, but they use the default foreground color of the common base style class for the text. I don't think that fixing the (obsolete) Windows styles is worth the effort. As workaround we should use the Fusion style if high-contrast is active.

Fixed and backported for VSD 3.4 and VSD 3.3.

I think this will make the dialog less user friendly because with this change one always needs to check the status of all check boxes. Without the change the check boxes always have the same status when the dialog is opened the same way. Predictability is very important for usability and even more for accessibility.

Since GnuPG 2.5.3 there is no predefined keyserver anymore: https://dev.gnupg.org/T7442

I found and fixed a bug (likely a regression in the new code): When CN_prefill or EMAIL_prefill is configured as true and no fixed CN or EMAIL is configured then Kleopatra should prefill Name and Email with values taken from CONFIGDIR/emaildefaults (used by KDE apps on Linux), from the Windows user or from the EMAIL environment variable. This didn't work anymore.

I don't see how this could happen unless you have canceled an export. In this case Kleopatra saved an empty path as last location and then on the next export Kleopatra proposed Documents. The latest changes prevent Kleopatra from saving an empty path as last location and they ensure that Kleopatra immediately writes [Export]LastDirectory to disk.

Notes for testing (and maybe documentation update):

• A few features (?) of the old CSR creation have been removed:
  • The different choices offered after CSR creation (e.g. save to file, send to CA, create signing/encryption CSR with same settings, etc.) have been removed; now a file save dialog pops up when the CSR has been generated
  • Custom labels for the RSA key sizes ([CertificateCreationWizard]RSAKeySizeLabels); we use GnuPG's algorithm IDs as labels (items in the drop down box)
  • Custom key type ([CertificateCreationWizard]CMSKeyType); CSR creation supported (and still supports) only RSA as "key type"; by marking the config key as immutable one could force the creation of signing+encryption CSRs which makes little sense for S/MIME and might have been "copied" from OpenPGP key creation where forcing the generation of keys for signing & encryption does make some sense.
  • Specification of the CA's email address ([CertificateCreationWizard]CAEmailAddress); the generated CSRs are now always written to disk; the users will have to create an email themselves
